Fires sparked by Russian strikes on Kharkiv - VOA News.

Rescue workers in Ukraine's Kharkiv were putting out fires caused by what Ukraine's military said were intercepted Russian strikes Saturday.

Russia launched an overnight drone attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv and Dnipro regions, injuring at least six people and hitting critical infrastructure, commercial and residential buildings, regional officials said on Saturday.

The Ukrainian Air Force said the Russian forces launched 13 Shahed drones targeting the regions in the northeast and center of the country. The air defense units downed all the drones, the Air Force commander said.

Debris from the downed drones struck civilian targets in Kharkiv in the northeast, however, injuring four people and sparking a fire in an office building, the regional governor said.
